Catalyst for a multi-walled carbon nanotube production process

摘要

The present invention discloses a catalyst for the selective conversion of hydrocarbons into multi-walled carbon nanotubes and hydrogen comprising a compound of the formula:
€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ (Ni, CO) x Fe y Al z O n
wherein:
0.1 ‰ x/x+y ‰ 0.9
2‰ z‰ 96 and 7‰ n‰ 148 The present invention further discloses a process for the manufacturing of this catalyst via a precursor and its use.
